We don't say that anymore. We live here now. </strong></p><p>How has that shift affected our mental health? That's the question Lauren has been trying to answer for the past decade, exploring the intersection of mental health and social media use. This is her story of coming of age in the digital age, all while her undiagnosed anxiety disorder bubbles under the surface until finally demanding to be treated. </p><p>During her recovery process, she continues to hear a faint little voice that grows louder and louder the more she ignores it. That faint little voice reveals itself to be the solution we're all searching for. </p><p>It's not a pill, a self-help guru or a 10 day retreat to Bali. The solution to FOMO, and the anxiety, depression and general life dissatisfaction it breeds, is to come home to ourselves and reconnect with that little voice of intuition. Re-learning how to trust ourselves, be more mindful of the content we're consuming and, in general, live life with more intention. </p><p>This book will encourage readers to do just that, in order to break the spell of the flashy news headlines and infinite social media scrolls distracting us from our real, embodied lives.</p><p><strong>Who were you before the internet told you who to be? Let's remember, together. </strong></p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p><em>"Adored this book and found it to really be so relatable.

But I think that most people are dealing with anxiety with a lower case a. The daily anxiety of life. Lauren offers such an apt description of that anxiety. We're all comparing ourselves to the highlight reel on social media, and I really appreciate how Lauren reminds us to recognize the difference between real life and online life." - </em><strong>Kristen Howerton, author of <em>Rage Against the Minivan</em> and co-host of the Selfie Podcast </strong></p><br>
